| Remarks | Train of sparks, something like fireworks, was visible for about a second after the fireball burned out. They were whiteish yellow/orange and stuck out against the green of the fireball. If I had never seen a fireball before I might have thought it was a firework, but the angle and size was all wrong for said firework. It was awesome! |
